[edit] History

Can anybody provide more detail, e.g. a specific timeline of devices that used buttons? I'm thinking along the lines of early wireless receivers with plugin coils, slightly later ones with rotary switches, and later still with keys or buttons.

I must admit I started thinking about this when I saw the pseudo-victorian LCD screen and keyboard at Steampunk Workshop which on reflection is more Edwardian than Victorian :-) MarkMLl (talk) 16:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
